Chapter 499: Chapter 416 Advanced Phoenix Vein Chapter 499: Chapter 416 Advanced Phoenix Vein This day, at the summit of a mountain in the New Dust Realm,
a young man with silver eyes dressed in a black robe sat on the back of a massive, menacing Black Qilin.
In front of the silver-eyed youth was a small Slime.
It was Su Yuan, Ruan Ruan, and the newly acquired Black Qilin, Mo Fei.
At this moment, thanks to Ruan Ruan’s care and healing, Mo Fei had finally fully recovered.
“Squish, squish (this way, this way)! Squish, squish (that way, that way)!”
Ruan Ruan, acting as a big sister for the first time, excitedly directed Mo Fei to run back and forth.
“Roar, roar!” Mo Fei obediently ran around the mountain top as instructed, without any sign of impatience.
At 200 years old, Mo Fei was still likely not an adult by Black Qilin standards.
Although his intelligence had greatly increased after entering the Bright Star, his mind remained relatively pure in the environment of the New Dust Realm.
In recent days, it was Ruan Ruan’s relentless care and healing that allowed Mo Fei to fully recover.
Moreover, the impressive strength Ruan Ruan had displayed in previous battles had earned Mo Fei’s approval, making him quite affectionate towards her now.
Su Yuan smiled and pinched Ruan Ruan, letting her command Mo Fei, knowing she was just enjoying the novelty.
At that moment, a red light suddenly streaked from afar, swiftly arriving in front of Su Yuan and the others.
A figure in a red robe, bearing the same facial features as Su Yuan, appeared—it was the Demon Soul.
“Those people have all been killed. Three subordinates in total,” the Demon Soul said with a smile.
“Good.” Su Yuan nodded, not overly surprised.
Given the Great Breath combined with skills advanced to the Transformation Realm, the Demon Soul Avatar’s strength had significantly improved compared to the battle with Sagittarius.
Whether it could defeat a Star Envoy was unknown, but handling a few subordinates was no challenge.
“These are the items obtained,” the Demon Soul handed several rings over to Su Yuan, then took out a Blue Crystal enveloped in faint yellow mist, “Additionally… there’s this!”
“Oh?” Su Yuan’s face lit up with delight. “Perfect timing!”
Seeing Su Yuan so pleased, the Demon Soul asked in confusion, “You already have a Wolf Vein. Do you still need a Star Vein?”
“I do.” Su Yuan’s thoughts moved, synchronizing the changes in the Qingming Realm with the Demon Soul.
“Phoenix Vein? So that’s it…” The Demon Soul nodded thoughtfully. “In that case, I will continue searching.”
“Alright.” Su Yuan took out two empty crystals from Mi Lu and Mark’s rings and handed them to the Demon Soul, “Thank you.”
The corner of the Demon Soul’s mouth curved up. “We are one. There’s no need for thanks.”
With that, the Demon Soul prepared to leave again.
After a brief thought, Su Yuan instructed, “Demon Soul, change your appearance.”
The Demon Soul, understanding Su Yuan’s thoughts, agreed.
Extracting Star Veins was a matter best kept hidden, even in the New Dust Realm.
Additionally, as a special envoy of the Sky Patrol Department, Su Yuan needed to secure as many Star Veins for the Great Flame as possible.
The Demon Soul nodded. A red light briefly flashed over his form, transforming him into a youth with a fair, ruddy complexion, dressed in a blood robe.
It was the form of the previous master of the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber, seen by Su Yuan in the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber.
As the Demon Saber had been sealed in the Land of Sword Relics modernly, it was likely that this blood-robed youth was also from ancient times.
The Demon Soul said, “By the way, there is a Red Flow Fire Essence in one of the rings. I plan to forge a Fire Element Star Artifact.”
“No problem,” Su Yuan nodded, “If I find suitable materials, I will keep an eye out.”
“Good.” The Demon Soul bowed, then left immediately.
“It seems necessary to set up a barrier in the Qingming Realm for remote transportation or communication…” Su Yuan thought as he watched the Demon Soul depart.
If the distance was too great, even communication talismans failed to convey messages.
He could only sense the Demon Soul’s general position and transmit the “recall” command.
“But next, I should first enhance the Qingming Realm…”
Collecting his thoughts, Su Yuan infused himself with black light, bringing Ruan Ruan and Mo Fei into the Qingming Realm.
He activated the Wolf Vein in his hand and whispered, “Qingming!”
“Clang!”
A half-human tall Black Phoenix dove from the sky, grasping the Blue Crystal in its beak, then swallowed it whole.
Instantly, the Black Phoenix’s body violently fluctuated, currents surging through it, as it was digesting an entire Star Vein!
Although the Wolf-level Star Vein within the Blue Crystal was higher in level than the current Phoenix Vein, this was the Qingming Realm!
Fighting on home ground, the Black Phoenix spread its wings, and black space power gathered from all directions, enveloping the Phoenix Vein completely.
After a while, a Black Phoenix, now two to three times larger, emerged, excitedly circling Su Yuan several times.
Wolf Level!
With the Phoenix Vein reaching Wolf Level, the entire space slightly shook.
Su Yuan felt the power of the Heavenly Throne rapidly growing stronger!
Multiple times the previous Heaven and Earth Star Power filled the space, able to support many Radiant Moon Level cultivations!
Everywhere he looked, the Qingming Realm steadily expanded, with forests, deserts, and icefields emerging as the Ten Constant Elements evolved.
The terrain constantly changed, modifiable with the Power of Soul.
Additionally, Su Yuan felt a faint sense…
If the Phoenix Vein reached the level of Tiger Level Star Veins, he might undergo another transformation!
“Clang, clang, clang!”
The Black Phoenix gave a high-pitched cry, and finally, it soared into the sky.
“Residing in the heavens…”
Su Yuan looked up at the vanishing Black Phoenix.
Though never seeing a Star Vein above Tiger Level, the Phoenix Vein, unlike ordinary Dog or Wolf Veins, existed high in the sky.
Beside him, the Black Qilin, witnessing the wondrous changes in the Qingming Realm, was utterly shocked.
The Black Qilin realized that just staying within this space might allow it to break through to Radiant Moon Level without leaving the New Dust Realm!
Feeling completely convinced, the Black Qilin’s admiration for Su Yuan deepened, developing a profound respect from the heart.
Creating an entire realm—what was wrong with having such a person as his master?
Leaving the Qingming Realm, Su Yuan mounted the Qilin to set off.
He handed Dominic’s empty Blue Crystal to Ruan Ruan, who used it with Mo Fei to sense Star Veins and search for thunder and fire element materials.
As for Su Yuan himself, he took out the “Heavenly Strategy Formation Map” and began studying it on the Qilin’s back…
Although the New Dust Realm was vast, encountering Wolf Veins wasn’t easy.
Several days passed, and Su Yuan hadn’t found any Wolf Veins.
As fate would have it, Su Yuan received messages from Yan Changming and Baili Ge, announcing they had successfully extracted Star Veins!
Checking the locating talisman, Su Yuan found they were nearby.
Putting away the “Heavenly Strategy Formation Map,” Su Yuan commanded, “Let’s go, Mo Fei, this way.”
“Roar!”
Mo Fei leaped forward, transforming into a black shadow that sped towards Yan Changming and Baili Ge.
“Su Yuan, this is…?” Baili Ge’s eyes widened at Su Yuan’s Black Qilin mount.
Ruan Ruan was one thing; Baili Ge and Yan Changming had met her before, but they hadn’t expected Su Yuan to ride a Qilin today.
Yan Changming instantly recognized it, exclaiming, “It’s the ancient, extinct Ink Qilin!”
Su Yuan smiled and asked, “Have you both completed your tasks?”
Yan Changming nodded. “Yes, it went smoothly.”
Baili Ge grinned. “Although we encountered some other powerful people, not running into the Twelve Palaces made it much easier.”
Yan Changming added, “We plan to first return the Pulse Drawing Beads. Su Yuan, are you staying?”
Su Yuan nodded. “Yes.”
Whether for the Phoenix Vein or materials to arrange the Five Elements Sky Gang Thunder Array needed to be found here.
After some thought, Baili Ge suggested, “How about this—Yan Changming returns the Pulse Drawing Beads alone, and I stay with you?”
“Oh?” Su Yuan looked at Baili Ge, “How sweet!”
Ah, this!
Baili Ge’s face stiffened, but Yan Changming spoke up.
With a serious look, Yan Changming said, “You were far away, so you might not have heard.”
When Yan Changming spoke, Baili Ge’s expression turned grim, even somewhat unpleasant.
Realizing something wasn’t right, Su Yuan asked, “What is it?”
Yan Changming hesitated briefly, then said,
“Yu Heng Star Lord… is dead!”
